The Wire · Season 1, Episode 1

McNulty and Bunk in “The Target”

How happy am I to see my pager go off with your call number?

Smoke 'em if you got 'em, because this muthafucka is as ripe as they get.

We aren't up. Nolan's squad is up.

I know, I know.

But you had to answer the fuckin' phone, didn't you?

I gotta pay down my credit cards, man.

Not off him, you ain't. Motherfucker, I leave you alone for a minute or two, what do you do?

All right, I heard ya!

Well, say the words, Bunk.

Oh, come on, man.

Speak to me.

So you gonna cut and run on the Bunk? That shit ain't right, Jimmy. All right then, this is my case, my file. This shit comes back a murder, you ain't gotta do shit but stand there and laugh at me. You happy now, ya bitch?

This'll teach you to give a fuck when it ain't your turn to give a fuck.

It ain't even gonna be a murder. This muthafucka probably came in here to take a shit or somethin' and just fell out. I betcha there ain't nothin' to it.

[turns to leave] You hope.

Where you goin'?

Back to the office, where I belong.

[he leaves; Bunk looks down at the corpse]

You... molderin' muthafucka, don't even think about comin' back a murder. Don't even think of that shit.
